Overview

A strange light in the sky holds a danger unknown for ten thousand years! Deep beneath Golarion's surface, the greatest shame of the elves is stirring once more. Seething with hatred, the drow have come up with a plan to wipe out their ancient enemies and bring a second Age of Darkness. And this time, there's only the heroes to stop them...

Character Creation

Players may use any rules (feats, class abilities, spells, etc.) from the Pathfinder Core Rule book. Material from other sources maybe used, but it needs to be run by the group first.

Each character gets three traits (one campaign, two general) from the Second Darkness Companion and begins with max starting gold. Traits are essentially mini-feats -- each one grants a bonus equal to about half of a normal feat. All characters start at 1st level.

We are using the Hero Points rules from the Advanced Players Guide. All characters start with one hero point; those who complete a character background start with two.

Clerics

Shorafa Pamodae Tiefling Cleric 10: high priestess and madam of the House of the Silken Veil.

Ruben Carfay, Human Cleric ?: Priest of Besmara, the Pirate Queen, former keeper of the Fish Bowl in Riddleport, now deceased

Demons

Delathari: A succubus who once owned the sole of Carlila Zalteri, who was sold to her as part of a pact Carila's mother made. That contract was broken when Delathari was defeated by a band of heroes on Carlila and Skender's wedding day, but she retains a grudge against the cleric and her beloved.
